How to Record Tracks 3 and 4
Tracks 3 and 4 can be recorded using almost the
same procedure just shown for tracks 1 and 2. Just
use the applicable RECORD FUNCTION switches,
and the PAN controls should be rotated to the LEFT
for recording on Track 3 and to the RIGHT for Track
4.
How to Record Many Sources onto a
Single Track
In the first example, we recorded one source onto
one track at a time for simplicity. But the mixer of
the Portastudio 414 MKII can take multiple channels
and mix them onto a single track. To do this :
– Set the PAN control of each channel to the same
setting, for example :
In this example, all instruments plugged
into channels 1-4 will be recorded onto
Track 1 or 3.
– Lower the MASTER fader to make overall level
adjustments once you have each channel's TRIM
and fader level set.
– Make sure the INPUT switch of every channel
you want to record is set to MIC/LINE.
■ You can't record the stereo channels onto a single
track.
